Happy Little Clouds is the ultimate hybrid indie band that combines a familiar rock base with soulful, sometimes bluesy, female vocals, edgy guitar, punchy bass, and bouncy rhythms. They play with dynamics like a yo-yo and aren't afraid to get quiet until they slap you in the face with beats that can get even the living dead up and grooving. Passion and good musicality triumph the stage and you'll be sure to have a tune or two stuck in your head after this band is done. The Boston-based indie rock band was formed in 2010 by singer/guitarist Jac Mestel and drummer Alex Toorish. They were joined in 2014 by bassist Kelly Vaden.

J. Walter plays songs that can't decide whether to be pop, folk, rock, or country. Mix 'em all together and you've got yourself some tunes that were meant to be played on a porch in the month of May. (http://jwalterweatherman.bandcamp.com/)

Hevy Sol is a blast from the past as heard through a distorted silver-face amp. This band is what rock and roll should be: raw, unapologetic, and authentic. Fronted by the powerful pipes and bluesy guitar stylings of Ashley Rhodes, complimented by Daniel Johnson's ball-busting bass lines, and backed by Stephen Cramer's groovin' beats, Hevy Sol is genuine rock in a world of programmed beats and auto-tuned vocals. With a strong female front, this band is anything but "girl rock". Our stripped down sound utilizes acoustic guitar and bass with cajon.
